Is the M25 (Laser gun seen in movies) in the game?

[Flip]

In the movies the resistance are using a bullprop laser rifle, according to wiki it's called M25. Just got my first laser gun and it's different, just wondering if you actually get the iconic (to me) resistance weapon?

Yes, the game starts in 2028 which is a full year before the Future War scenes seen in Terminator 1 and 2. You see the conflict escalate and technology advance over the course of the game and the "purple laserguns" do indeed show up later in the game.

Ah excellent! Thanks alL!

In the early parts of the game your plasma rifle is actually very similar to the rifle that Kyle Reese has in the first movie, except instead of it having a large computerised scope on top it has a red dot sight, and it shoots red plasma instead of pink/purple.

Late in the game you get "second generation" plasma rifles with violet plasma, which matches the look of what the Resistance use in the opening scenes of Terminator 2. In the game they actually call it the V-25.

It doesn't come with a computerised scope as standard, but if you see the quartermaster you can trade stuff and buy an enhanced version of that gun that has a big computerised scope on it, like what you see the Resistance guns have in the movies.

The big difference is that the M25 in the movies is a bullprop, i.e the magazine is at the back and the handle trigger is infront of it. However the gun you get in the game, the magazine is infront of the handle and the handle is further back.

I actually thought the resistance soldiers where wielding the M25 until I saw their hands where simply covering the magazine of the starting rifle.

There isnt a mag in the gun in the film. On the real gun they used there is. Im guessing its one of those fire until you overheat it style weapons. Having the mag at the front in this game looks weird.

Actually there is a mag, I just watch film yesterday and you do see it in the scene where he is in the resistance base where the terminator attacks although I am pretty sure that is just a mistake because having a bullet mag on a laser gun looks wierd aye.

But you get the one I mean anyways

Do you get to use the Terminator's M-27 Plasma rifle?

That would definitely make me buy this game...kinda on the fence atm but this would tip me over

Yes it's there and if you invest in weapon skill as a priority you can use it lvl 12 and around the 3rd full mission

That's blatantly wrong, what you're describing is the red plasma rifle, the violet plasma you get later in the game is a bullpup with mag at the back.
